We sell our fresh eggs during the laying season, which is normally from September to March. Each of our birds lays 1 egg every three days, on average. The taste difference between emu eggs and chicken eggs is minimal. Chicken eggs contain 37% saturated (bad) and 63% unsaturated (good) fats, while emu eggs contain 31% saturated and 68% unsaturated fats. Both contain all 8 of the essential amino acids needed in human nutrition. Chicken eggs contain about 65% white, 35% yolk. Emu eggs contain 55% white, and 45% yolk.The big green eggs yield about two cups of egg.One large chicken egg is about one quarter cup.
Fresh emu eggs can be refrigerated up to a month or frozen up to a year. Eggs may be separated prior to freezing. When freezing the yolk, or scrambled egg, add either 1/2 teaspoon of salt or 6 teaspoons of sugar per cup. If you do not add salt or sugar, the yolk will become gelatin overtime. Date and label the container whether to use the egg for main dishes (salt) or desserts (sugar). Scrambled eggs may be frozen in ice trays, popped out of the trays and stored in airtight containers.Depending on cube size, one or two cubes equal one chicken egg.
